I started watching True Blood during the first season of the HBO show. I have been addicted ever since. The show just recently started its 3rd season and I am even more hooked now than ever before. The story line is one of the most unique and creative on tv and each week something new happens that you never saw coming. Every character on the show is played perfectly by the amazing cast. Over the last two seasons, there have been many additions to the original cast, and not one of them has been disappointing. Every new person they have brought in has blended in perfectly with the original group of actors and have all brought something unique and great to the series.

Watching True Blood on Oregon satellite tv has become a weekly event. I have such a great group of friends that are all into the show just as much as me, so there’s always someone willing to come over and watch the latest episode. Sookie is by far my favorite character on the drama. Anna Paquin plays the character perfectly. The character of Sookie is such a strong and independent female character. So many other shows present the lead female character as a weak, love struck girl, but not True Blood. Her strength is just another great aspect of the show.

Ok, so I waited until the very last minute to start watching Lost, but I’m slow that way sometimes. Besides, I like it better when I don’t have to wait a week to see what happens next. And with this show, I’d lose my ever-lovin’ MIND if I had to wait that long!

To be honest, I don’t watch much prime time television. The last television show I got interested in was House. And it just drove me crazy having to wait a week, or possibly a month or more between episodes, so I stopped watching it, (though I do sometimes catch-up on it whenever Bravo has one of its House marathons). Yes, I know. Patience is a virtue…yadda, yadda, yadda. I’d just rather wait until there are at least two or three seasons of a show, so I can watch episodes at Hulu at my own leisure.  That way, if I want to stay up till 5am watching Lost episodes, (which I did last night), then I can. Remember the “good ole days” when we were forced to wait? Wasn’t that fun? Thank the gods for the interwebs, (and websites like Hulu).

If you’re like me and never watched Lost, you should go to Hulu and give it a go. It is one of those shows where you really get to know the characters. You get glimpses into each one’s past, and then watch how they evolve and adapt to life on the island. Some of them change drastically over time. It’s fascinating.

As you probably guessed, my favorite character is that of Sawyer, (played by Josh Holloway, pictured above). Yeah, he’s a bad boy, but what can I say? Maybe it’s because he’s Southern, like me, and I can relate to that aspect of him. I dunno. There’s just something about him I like. Remember, though, at present, I am only a couple of episodes into season 2, so my feelings could change later on. We’ll just have to wait and see. Who is your favorite Lost character and why?

If you like action and suspense, Lost is definitely the show for you. It seems something terrible happens to one of the characters in each episode. It never, ever gets boring. In fact, you will probably need to make sure you’ve taken your blood pressure meds before watching. I am always “pumped” from start to finish. So…um…be careful if you have issues there. Ha! No, I’m just kidding (maybe). I’ve never heard of anyone having a heart attack or stroking out while watching Lost, (though, I guess it could  have happened…I dunno).

Since I’m only a few seasons in, last night, I thought I may have made a huge mistake by watching the Lost series finale, because I was totally LOST! But, then I found out afterwards (via Twitter) that even people who had watched the entire 6 seasons all the way through were asking, “WTF?” So I don’t feel like I ruined it for myself. Why did I watch it? Because I knew there would be spoilers all over the internet, TV, etc. for the next month (or three) and I’d never be able to escape it. So, I watched it with my husband, Charlie, who, by the way, had never seen a single episode! Afterwards, he posted this about it on his Facebook wall:

I’m officially lost! Probably, shouldn’t have picked the series finale as a starting place! LoL, I’ve decided I’m seriously going to watch the show in reverse! Instead of putting pieces together, I’m going to scatter them about!

LOL! Bless his heart.

In conclusion, I would like to say that when I’m done with Lost, I’ll be starting on Roswell, then Fringe, and then Carnivale. If you have any suggestions for me, please leave your feedback in the comments section below. I’d love to hear what you’re watching!

Hey y’all! This is the first video I have made where I am actually in it, so this is sort of my video debut. I made this mainly for my Twittaw friends, but I thought I’d share it here at the blog too. I have been hesitant about making a video of myself, because of my Southern drawl, but it is part of who I am, so go ahead and laugh if ya like.

The media really had all of us Southern folks freaked out, warning us that we had an “arctic storm” headed our way. Just about all of Tennessee shut down in preparation of this event. I fully expected to wake up this morning and find the van buried in a snow drift. But, when I looked out the window, there was no snow! However, by the time I left for work, it had begun to snow. After a few hours, Charlie went out and got some cool shots. I love the ones of Jareth. He’s such a beautiful cat! Enjoy.
